Crypto as an Asset Class: Why It Belongs in a Diversified Portfolio

In Sri Lanka, wealthy families have always understood one golden rule: don’t put all your eggs in one basket.

That’s why portfolios often include land, property, gold, stocks, and even businesses. Each asset has its role — property for stability, stocks for growth, gold for preservation.

But now, there’s a new asset class entering the picture: crypto.

Not as a gamble.
Not as a “get rich quick” scheme.
But as a legitimate piece of a modern, diversified portfolio.

Why the Wealthy Are Adding Crypto

1. Uncorrelated Growth

  • Crypto doesn’t always move like stocks, real estate, or bonds.

  • This makes it a powerful diversifier — adding resilience to your overall wealth.

2. Store of Value in Uncertain Times

  • Just as gold protects against inflation and currency weakness, Bitcoin and Ethereum are becoming digital “safe havens.”

  • In a world of money-printing, digital scarcity matters.

3. Access to a Global Asset Class

  • Unlike land or property, crypto is borderless and liquid.

  • You can move, store, or sell wealth globally, 24/7 — something no other asset provides at this scale.

How Much Should You Allocate?

Wealthy investors abroad — including family offices, hedge funds, and even pension funds — are allocating between 1–10% of their portfolios into crypto.

  • Too small (under 1%) → won’t move the needle.

  • Too large (over 20%) → risk becomes uncomfortable.

  • The sweet spot (5–10%) → enough exposure for meaningful upside, but not enough to threaten core wealth.
